Topic: Red letter Bible (Read 1394 times)

There are red letter Bibles. The words of Jesus are in red. But why? Many say because what Jesus said is such perfect teaching. Then I wonder why the words of Jesus were any better than say those of Peter?Peter's writting are HS inspired so they are of divine quality too. In fact even teh words of Jesus are HS inspired. Otherwise it would mean that the 12 have written down the teachings from memmory years later.I think we don't need to argue how 'perfect' human memory is...

So can I conclude the red letter editions are nothing more that a way to make some extra cash?

For me it was to distinguish the Lords Word as prominentin a book full of words .

Mat 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

And why are the words of Jesus more prominent than those of Luke, Rose?The words of Luke are inspired by the HS that is very able to let Luke write down perfect words.Now I'm at it; did Jesus speak or was it the HS in Him speaking.In that case only the body was different.

Note: I'm not saying Luke is equal the Son of God.

So if all scripture is perfect because it comes from the same perfect HS why isn't James in red?It's equally divine.

LOL ,, Its all good to me

But I know what you are saying , I have an all black ink Bible

but I also have the in red letters" Christ Words" edition too

I believe the Holy Spirit inspired it all and maybe even more but it was removed I actually like the red letter edition better , maybe a eye and mind concetion in it .. but the Holy Spirit in which Jesus Christ was concieved in SPOKE

I only have black and white versions in print.But I bet a RoseRed Bible is pretty

Well I made my point.I'm very aware Jesus wasn't the 13th apostle but the Master. So I can really understand why people like the red letter Bible. It's just that some (not you) seem to imply the words of Jesus are extra true.

Seperate can also be something negative: Strong: in a bad sense: to exclude as disreputable.So it could be argued Saul was called to do good work and Barnabas bad work.But Barnabas helped to spread the Gospel so I guess he was on the good team...
